Singer, songwriter, model, and actress Grace Annabella Anderson transforms heartbreak into melodic relief with her new single ‘Transgressor.’ Written during a bitter New York winter, the track captures the sharp ache of disillusionment, and the sensation of love turning spectral, lingering like a ghost in the corners of a city that once felt safe.

Produced by Thomas Dulin of The Planetarium, the song shines with a rich, cinematic sound. The multi-hyphenate delivers her vocals with a distinct, haunting presence that anchors the track. Musically, ‘Transgressor’ takes cues from the Ultraviolence-era of Lana Del Rey, enveloping listeners in dreamy vocals, jagged electric guitar, and a heartbeat of reverb that fills every pause with feeling. The cinematic arrangement never crescendos; instead, it lingers in the fragile space between realization and release.

Anderson’s lyrics, informed by her background as a published poet, are intimate, restrained, and piercing. The song unravels slowly, tracing a reckoning between illusion and truth, capturing the moment one sees another’s true colors while recognizing their own naivety. The title, ‘Transgressor,’ reads like both a confession and a quiet accusation, ending abruptly mid-phrase, leaving the story unresolved yet profoundly resonant.

“‘Transgressor’ is winter to me,” Anderson portrays. “I wrote this one February, when the city was consumed by bitter, unshakable cold, and someone who had blanketed my heart had abruptly pulled away – only then did I realize the extent to which I had become attached to him. In the subsequent weeks, he became a ghost to me, haunting dimly lit street corners, dive bar windows, taxicabs, and half-conscious dreams. I mourned who I thought he was, I lamented who I wished he was, and I sought out any sort of cosmic guidance I could.”
